Holidays in Nisaki

Nestled along a mountainous coastline, Nissaki offers travellers an idyllic beach getaway on the island of Corfu. The name Nissaki means 'little island' - because believe it or not - Nissaki was actually once an island. It was only joined to the mainland due to the accumulation of chippings from stone chisellers working on the island! Today, the intimate community vibe, blissful views and quiet surroundings make Nissaki holidays an ideal destination for all types of travellers and holiday-makers.
